The remote CentOS Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CESA-2021:2238 advisory.

  • polkit: local privilege escalation using polkit_system_bus_name_get_creds_sync() (CVE-2021-3560)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
